Phew…!! Imagine you could get sued for something someone else said. That would be horrendous. Glad to hear he’s just a witness to it, and not the victim on an injustice.

Shoemoney is not getting sued, he was subpoenaed to appear in court. As long as he shows up he is fine. They just want him to give a testimony in the slander lawsuit that happened in the comments on his site. Basically he didn’t want to testify, the court said cooperate or else.

I’m glad you said that Brian, it would be quite worrying if bloggers could get sued for someone else’s comment.

Getting paid for musical content on video sounds great although I feel it’s a long way off as the technology seems to be primarily for the benefit of record companies to be aware of where their music is being used.
Thanks Darren!

I think Scoble’s post is one of the more interesting and true ones I’ve read in a long while, that’s exactly how blogs in the tech industry work. I think I’ve said it here before, it was one of the reasons I find better traffic and cash rates in entertainment blogs, because bloggers in the entertainment industry have their feet on the ground and their nose straight forward.

Please people… Jeremy *did not* get sued. He is giving a deposition in the case against the person who left the comment. The commentor is the only one legally liable for his own words (if in fact they constitute defamation, which is questonable in this case). Jeremy is merely a witness in the case.

You *are not* legally liable for what your commentors say! Let’s end this confusion now.

The shoemoney case is very worrying. Are we to be responsible for the comments people leave on our blogs?

I can imagine that this will encourage more bloggers to moderate comments, and maybe even discourage some from allowing them at all.

Shoemoney doesn’t go into the details, but I do find it hard to believe that one blogger would actually sue another for something said in a comments section. Still, there are all kinds of people out there.
